Before the semester starts, the chair of the Foreign Language Department will have a Pedgagogy Training meeting with all the teaching assistants and FLTAs. He talks about what does he want us to achieve in a language teaching class. He uses playing baseball games for am example. he doesn't want us to explain where is baseball from or the history of it instead he wants us to teach Students how to play baseball so that they can play on their own. Then, he talks about ACTFL in detail and offers us some typical advice to us.
